A Big Thank You!

This page is dedicated to people who have gone the extra mile to help The Treehouse School to become a successful working entity…

A Big Thank You to our many Friends…

As 37 Wallingford Road is prepared for our September opening, we have called in favours from our many friends to help us get the building and grounds ready on a ‘shoe string’ budget. Without them we would not have made the phenomenal progress we have in a very short space of time…

What an awesome bunch of talented people. This is truly a community project…

A Big Thank You to Jane…

Jane Randle is an awesome lady. She has guided through our precarious journey into planning, ultimately being key in securing ‘change of use’ on 37 Wallingford Road for a three year period. Her support for the project, tenacity, attention to detail and ability to turn tasks around quickly are second to none. Jane we can’t thank you enough.

A Big Thank You to Neil…

Another lovely man. Neil Boston has a business background and we approached him to help us write our business plan. He deserves a big thank you because he has consistently gone the extra mile on our behalf, has been up beat and positive on days when we have been glum and put up with us being very pedantic about how we want our business plan to sound. We can’t thank you enough Neil…for putting up with us!

A Big Thank You to Greg…

I know Greg will hate being lauded on our website…but I am sorry I am going to do it anyway! This supremely patient man has stoically supported my inept attempts at setting up our website. This has involved ‘user error’ situations that I blush to remember, consulting tolerant family members (A Big Thank You to Adam and Nick) for long periods of time to solve on going problems, enduring my preoccupation with aesthetics rather than practicalities, I could go on…Suffice it to say, Greg is a lovely man, THANK YOU.

A Big Thank You to Deborah…

Where do I begin? Deborah has been a tower of support since our Fir Tree days when we had the pleasure of teaching her daughter Holly. She has been 100% behind our determination to set up a new, alternative Primary School. However Deborah is unique in her ability to turn her support into action…It was she who managed to secure our hours meeting with Jamie Oliver’s PA…

It was her determination and hard work that resulted us in securing the general store at the Local Producer’s Market…

She has the innate ability to approach problems from a different angle and identify a way forward. Suffice it to say Deborah…you are our ’employee’ of the month…year. THANK YOU!

A Big Thank You to Shelley and Ian…

Although very determined in our venture, it is Shelley and Ian we have to thank for pointing us in a more business like direction! It was they who suggested and supported our initial attempts at a business plan, encouraging us to put time frames and costings in for each stage of the project. Without their help we would probably still be at the fanciful stage…

Thank you for being gentle with us…whilst moving our thinking on!

A Big Thank You to Gifford’s Circus…

Many thanks to Toti and Nell, founders of Gifford’s Circus, for agreeing to the Trojan Horse resting at The Treehouse and to the eight, strong heroes who helped it dismount.
